About the ASUS PIKE II 3108-8I/16PD SAS 12Gb/s Storage Solution
The ASUS PIKE II 3108-8I/16PD delivers up to 1,200 MB/s per port throughput, the sustained data velocity that enterprise storage architectures depend on for predictable SLA performance. Built around the LSI SAS3108 dual-core RAID-on-Chip controller and backed by 1 GB DDR3 onboard cache, this SAS 12Gb/s storage solution eliminates I/O bottlenecks in mission-critical server environments where latency tolerance is measured in milliseconds, not seconds.
Storage architects and IT procurement teams standardizing on ASUS server infrastructure will find the PIKE II 3108-8I/16PD engineered for seamless deployment across ASUS RS and ESC series platforms via the proprietary PIKE II slot. The module supports up to 16 physical drives across 8 internal ports delivered via 2 × SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD connectors, with full backward compatibility across SAS 12Gb/s, SAS 6Gb/s, SATA 6Gb/s, and SATA 3Gb/s drive interfaces. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 provide the redundancy and performance flexibility required for diverse workload profiles, while integrated management via ASUS Control Center, ASUS ASMB series BMC, and LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager keeps operations overhead minimal.
Enterprise Storage Use Cases
- High-throughput database clusters requiring sustained 1,200 MB/s aggregate bandwidth and RAID 5/6 data protection
- Virtualized datacenter environments running VMware ESXi with tiered storage across SAS and SATA drive populations
- Linux-based analytics platforms on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server with complex RAID 50/60 configurations
- Windows Server deployments demanding consistent cache-backed write performance and rapid fault recovery
- Mixed-protocol environments combining legacy SATA 3Gb/s legacy drives with modern SAS 12Gb/s NL-SAS capacity tiers
